As the arabs say, "When pleasure remains, does it remain a pleasure?" When something is forbidden, and has to be held in secret, it has enormous power in the mind. I tend to look on it as a form of obsession. Once he came out, and had the chance to act on his fantasies, a lot of that power was disipated. (Also, if he was doing so much with establishing himself in the larger CD community, he may have suffered a bit of "burn out.") So now, like water released from a dam, his fetish/orientation found its own (more comfortable) level. I've seen this plenty of times. Someone comes out as gay, or as being into kink, and they go "whole hog" for a while at the beginning, only to settle down some time later. (I was a little guilty of it myself when I first discovered the gay bath house scene. I spent a lot of weekends in them, only to fade off after a few months when the novelty of no longer being in a sexual "starvation economy" wore down.)
